Hm, actually something changes. Before it reads:

...
40: XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX UU XX XX XX XX XX XX XX
...

and after being unplugged and replugged:

...
40: XX XX XX XX XX XX XX XX 48 XX XX XX XX XX XX XX
...

But the man page unfortunately doesn't tell me about the difference. Maybe
the UU means "un use" or so.

I have investigated this further and i found out, that after replugging the 
interface i have to unload and reaload the ds1621 module to make
it visible to sensors again.

Hmm, shouldn't this work automatically?
